I completely agree with you on this- I was not anywhere near being "myself" after a very similar situation happened to me. I actually abandoned my art work for a year- I just couldn't allow myself anything that I found joy in.
That said, I am not sure how many ALM fans read the live journal posts. It infuriates me that people can't just realize (with or without knowing about her personal situation) that Renee is a human being, and things happen to us! So many people made remarks on the ALM page about how she "happens to get ill a lot" as though she were making it up, but IT HAPPENS! I have had more head injuries than most football players- some people are just magnets to bad luck like that, and we deal. Renee is dealing (and quite well, given the circumstances, I might add!), we all need to let her deal and be there for her (as much as internet fans CAN be there for someone).
Renee- It probably doesn't help much to have someone say they know what you are going through, but I truly do know. It is so hard, and thank you for sharing this with us all. You made the best choice for EVERYONE involved, and I am proud of you.
